Tulasi / Caligine - Split

New split cassette from Jozik Records of Finland. Side A from Tulasi floats amid washes of flute, organ, bits of percussion, and assorted electronic shimmer. At some moments ritualistic, and at others rooted firmly in acoustic folk. Side B from Caligine offers an elegant juxtaposition to Tulasi. Heavy guitar drones and feedback scorch across the soundstage, before collapsing into a series of moving acoustic melodies to close the tape.

I purchased directly from Jozik along with the rest of their new 3 tape batch, and received a hand written thank you, and free copy of an existing release as a bonus.
